Review: This is the first time I have read an auto-biography that I want to read for fun. I didn't really love it that much because it was nonfiction. I have trouble focusing when reading non-fiction. However this book was kind of different. It's not like those boring books that is read for English class. I think that overall this was pretty much interesting. Before reading the book, the thought of Michelle Obama was that she was the President's wife and she is rich. I am sure that it is what people think of her when they hear her name. You don't usually think about her as an author first. So after reading the biography, it made me realize that her childhood is just like a normal person's childhood. It's not like she was rich when she was small. It is actually the opposite. She had to work to get to the position she is. This book made me realize that what we perceive of a person is not always true.
